-----Original Message----- From: AGARWAL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, July 23, 2000 7:43 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: information Dear Sir/Madam, Hello! We are a translation agency by the name MULTI-LINGUIST, operating from India. We are interested in incorporating the Unicode system for all Indian languages,as we have certain clients who are interested in launching certain translated texts on the web in Unicode format. Our problem is that we donot know how to go about it. I wish to ask, is it possible for us to incorporate the Unicode system for any of fonts (in our case all Indian languages fonts), since for each of the languages there are various font styles? For instance, Devnagari script has over 100 dfferent fonts styles. Will it be possible to have the Unicode structure for all these font styles or are there only particular font styles for a  language which are recognized by the Unicode structure. Am I able to make myself clear?? I mean, just any font style for a particular language can be recognized by the Unicode system, or only particular font styles will be recognized? I wish to know what is the criteria is followed for providing the texts in Unicode format for non-English scripts. My interest lies specially in Indian languages. Is it possible to convert any font style into Unicode format?? Please guide us. Let us know if there is any software by which the characters can be converted into Unicode format. An early response would be highly appreciated. Best regards. Paresh Agarwal (Mr.) (our e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED])
